rs There will be little sympathy for the de-
positors of the Woman's Bank of Boston, because
of the flight of Madame Howe with what was left
of the money supposed to be in the bank. She
started her bank in 1878 and gathered in some
100000 of deposits, largely from women of small
means, by promising eight per cent. month and
paying it for some time out of deposits Of course
the collapse came, and Madame Howe was i'm
prisoned for three years but when she got out of
prison, she started her bank again, and those who
trusted her with deposits deserved to be swinded.
She has given leg bail to her victims by sudden
flight with $4,000 of their money. When either
male or female bankers offer more interest for
deposits than money is worth in legitimate bust
ness circles it's always safe to conclude that
there's loose bottom in the bank that may drop
out any day, and is certain to drop out sooner or
later.
